Chambers, Bertha Lee 81 July 17, 1931 July 13, 2013 Bertha "Bertie" Lee Chambers (Potter) born July 17, 1931, died peacefully at home with her loving husband, Tom, by her side, on July 13, 2013. They were married for 61 years on July 12. Tom took care of her to the end and did everything possible to keep her comfortable. The decline was rapid in the last two weeks, but with Tom's devotion and her family members close at hand, her spirits were good. "Our life has been wonderful together and I dearly miss her, she died in her sleep and did not suffer". She is survived by her husband, Tom; sons, Ron and daughter-in-law, Marjie, Don and partner, Tony, Steve; and daughter, Terri; six grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren; sisters, Marjory Armstrong and Bonny Wolf. Before making their permanent home here in Portland in 1971, they traveled the world together as a young military family strengthening their family's special bond and opening their view on many different cultures and creating many lasting relationships. The family wishes to send a special thank you to Kaiser Permanente Hospice. Memorial gifts may be made to the
